Chateau Phelan Segur Saint-Estephe 2021 i trækasse

94-95/100 Andrew Caillard Deep crimson. Fresh fragrant blackcurrant dried rose sage aromas with vanilla notes. Well concentrated and smooth with blackcurrant vanilla flavours, lovely cedary textures, mid-palate richness and fresh long acidity. Supple and refined wine. 75% cabernet sauvignon, 21% merlot, 4% petit verdot. 18 months in 55% new French oak. 13.5% alc

94/100 James Suckling Very refined with a mineral and chili chocolate twist to the fine spices and cassis with a touch of iron and pencil shavings. The juicy, medium- to full-bodied palate shows symmetry of chalky tannins and fruit concentration. More refined, layered and long than it is compact or broad. Still, the finesse and minerality are evident. Drink now or hold.

93/100 Bettane & Desseauve

92/100 Antonio Galloni The 2021 Phélan Ségur turned out beautifully. Dark, somber notes typical of this Saint-Estèphe are present, but also attenuated by the medium-bodied structure of the year. Red cherry, gravel, incense, licorice and dried herbs fill out the layers nicely.
